This document specifies the requirements for eaves gutters made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), fittings and the system intended to be used for rainwater roof drainage.
It applies to:
— solid wall monolayer gutters;
— solid wall multilayer gutters;
— solid wall fittings.
This document is not applicable to PVC gutters with a foamed layer.
The test parameters for the test methods are specified in the document.
Gutters covered by this document can be used in conjunction with fittings of acrylic materials provided these products meet the applicable requirements of this document.
downpipes conforming to EN 12200-1 [1] and fixed with brackets complying with EN 1462 [2].
This document is applicable to PVC-U gutter systems of any shape with rubber seal or adhesive joints.
